Hi, i would like to hear from satisfied users only their hardware + audio card configuration.

I mean using Live 9 with many audio tracks and VSTs running at the same time, with no glitches or slow motion.So you don't know what is a problem during recording and you're happy because your setup is rock solid!

late 2012 macbook pro. 2.4 GHz i5 8GB RAM OSX 10.7.5 5400 rpm 500GB stock hard driveapogee duet (1st version)current LIVE STANDARD 9 (64 bit) (with instruments and MAX4LIVE)i use the NATIVE INSTRUMENTS ABSYNTH, MASSIVE, FM8, REAKTOR(with RAZOR) i also use ARTURIA MINI V.i try to keep my projects between 8 and 16 tracks (that is just how i like to do things)i NEVER have issues of any kind unless i am using more than 2 or 3 instances of REAKTOR. (the CPU meter starts creepin') i'll usually start rendering when my CPUs start cranking up.the only time i have ever CRASHED live or had serious issues, has been while using LOOPER to the extreme. but i rarely use LOOPER at all, so...

No issues except for ones caused by flaky vsts and bugs present in live itself. It can handle most anything I throw at it, but the question of glitching and slow down is very very relative to what you are doing. I could load hundreds of vsts that use almost no cpu power and it would still work fine. Load up 10 instances of diva with pads with long release times and there comes the glitching, so its fairly open ended question without a true relation between a solid hardware setup vs. what your actually doing on that hardware

late 2011 MBP, i7 quad 2,16 4 GB ram 500 GB hdMOTU travelerlive 8,2,432 samples buffergives me a I/O (roundtrip) latency of 2,2 ms (and a idle load of 6%, 35% when playing and teaking al knobs i can) which is just ok to play live using live as a mixer and sequencer for my hardware synths and FX

i also use an M-audio fasttrack pro to record on the go, with 64 samples buffer

I love my system! It boots in 4.5 seconds to get to the Windows login screen. Live and Reason run rock solid off the Primary SSD. I keep all my data files on the hybrid SSD and they're pretty quick to access. I use the Scarlett 6i6 for performing and at home but when I travel with a lite load I usually take the Propellerhead Balance audio interface. I get low latency with both interfaces running at 48Khz. My system has never run better since going to Windows 8/8.1 and the SSD drives!
